Mime. de Stsel was never beautiful
in any strict sense of the word, yet in her
later years she charmed all who approach

County Washington Territory Thursday,

years ago, many farmers IN debt for
their improvements cleared from
$1,000 to So, 1000, severally. Results
which have 10 parallel in any other
section: and the average, as before
stated. fully accounts for the appar~
emily high prices at which these lands
are held, besides their limited guam
tity, the products Of which have not
heretofore been equal to the nome de.
mands. where nine~tenths of the pop
ulation are employed III milling, log
ging, mining and manufacturing in
dustries, requiring supplies whic.l
have been largely contributed by
California and the older states.
There have been but few changes
of ownership in this section for sew
eral years; few caring to part with
their possessions at any probable
price. who have the means OF utilizing
them by the necessarily expensive
improvements. Mr.. AIeeker paid
John Sangston $4,000 for 240 acres
partly improved, seven miles farther
up the river. Mr.. Alyord refused
$4,000 for 900 acres farther up, 300
acres under improvement. j. r. Me
Dougal paid Henry Adams S23.50O
for $40 acres, one-third under im
provement, and has expended $4,000
in buildings, fences and twenty acres
of hops.
The Maple Grove Farm, which is
conceded to embrace the best hop
lands on the river, and is not excelled
in beauty of location, is offered for
$1,000, for no other reason than that
we (wife and self are too old to man
age it, and have not the means neces
sary to make the improvements re-
quired for its availability as an in
vestmcnt.
We DO not expect anybody to buy
on these repl esentations, but they are
made to invite critical examination
from any one proposing to invest in
such property.

Republican Ciub.

The first National Republican
Club was organized IN New York on
the 18th inst. Chairman James z.
Foster addressed the 1,2O0 delegates
present as follows:
I'VE proposd to organize to go out
beyond the individual, in order that
we may work for some end and some
principle higher and broader than
the single man; hence We have by
common consent, agreed to that just
and only true rule, that this cOnyen-
ton shall not name, recommend or
nominate any candidate for any
office" We propose an organization
whereby teaching the meaning of a
tariff to protect the industries of the
land, may be readily and quickly dis
seminated in plain language, to be
understood by ali earnest wage pay
ers. The tariff is high enough to re
duce surplus and to give employment
to our citizens at home; to insure a
market for our gooeS, and d living to
workmen better than the pauper la
bor of Europe has ever known.
I'VE propose an organization that
shall discountenance and put to
shame those personal attacks upon
candidates, whers private character
and home life are assaIled, and public
scandal for political ends unjustly
created.
"We propose an organization that
shall say to the saloon: Be ye re-
You who create paupers, and insan
ity, and criminals shall no longer
WELD the power of the government
in this land. This, then, is the mis-
sion of this organization"
Judge Ryan, on taking the chair,
said. 1--WE are here today to organ
ize the clubs of the country into a
permanent organization. We are
here 20 boom the republican party,
and not any one in it."

Productiveness of Uplands.

1t is not generally known, if it is, it Is
not generally admitted, that our uplands
will produce as much grass, il not more,
than our bottom lands. yet such is the
fact Those who have uplands cleared
usually pasture them, and find III few
years that they have run out and pro-
duce nothing but wild blackberries and
brakes. Let our uplands be well cleared
and the surface made tit for the sCythe or
mowing-machine, then sown to timothy
and clover. and never pastured, and they
will be found to produce from two to five
tons OF hay to the acre year after year
Clover roots usually die at the end Of the

| largely unless on moist land, and unless
the land is reseeded i'll some manner, in
very few years is wholly run out, But

WHO WROTE SHAkESPEAREq
How the Element OF doubt" Leads to
Grand achievements.

The world is agitated again over the
question of who was the author of Shake
speare's plays.
The world is full OF doubling Thomases.
The man who has been successful in
exciting the present momentary interest
in the subject is, like most successful
agitators, an Irishman. He claims to
have discovereda cipher running through
the Shakespearian plays which proves
them to have been written by Lord
Bacon. 1t is also claimed that there is
a cipher in the epitaph on the moss
grown tombstone, which, properly inter
preted, leads to the same conclusion.
This age shows 4 decided inclination
TO pTy into mysteries.
1t can make no difference to Shake
speare now whether the world believes
he wrote the plays that bear his name or
not.
The plays are immortal.
Ignatius Donnelly cannot rob US OF
these grand works, even though he should
succeed in robbing shakespeare of his
glory.
Were it not for doubling Thomases
many of mans great accomplishments
would never have been brought to sue
cessful issue.
Men have been stricken down without
warning. Doubt put in motion the in
vestigation which ascertained the cause.
After the discovery of the cause, the
world was ignorant of any remedy with
which to stay the terrible slaughter of
humanity, and medical science said it
was impossible. Doubt led the way to
the light, and Warmers safe cure solved
the seemingly unsolvable problem. Its
friends tell us with conclusive proof that
the unsupported kidney disease befouls
the blood and causes most Of our dis
eases
For years the heart was looked upon
as the most important organ in the body,
but doubt led to further inquiry, which
developed the fact that the kidneys are
the real blood-puritiers of the system and
these organs now attract the Iirst atten-
tion of the careful practitioner. 1t is now
recognized fact that if they are put in
a healthy state by the use of that remedy
possessing such wonderful curative and
cleansing powers most of the prevailing
diseases of the system will be easily
overcome, since their cause Will be re-
moved.
How unimportant, in comparison with
such problems, is the present discussion
as to the authorship OF Shakespeare!
